Overall, what do you think about the Army down- sizing in Hawaii: 1,400 fewer troops and loss of the Stryker Brigade?

“what do you think about the Army downsizing in Hawaii?”
It’s not time for that now. Maybe never.
One base doesn’t mean anything...but a 40k man reduction to a 400k man army is totally insane in this world.
From a Sierra Vista article this morning: “Russia, for example, boasts more than 766,000 troops and a reserve force that tops 2.4 million. China has an active force of 2.3 million and India weighs in at 1.3 million.”
The homosexuals are taking over.
How’d that work for them in 1941?
The mooch spent $600,000 to redo the WH dining room, (not to mention the lavish vacations) but we can’t afford troops....
just Freep the poll please
mistake - we will rue the day
FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. (multiple votes using multiple internetz devices are allowed!) And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)
Sorry, I honestly cannot think of a bigger waste of time or meaningless gesture than responding to an online poll.
Disagree; negative (57%, 550 Votes)
It is hard to fight ISIS or a rising China with fewer troops. Especially when China has all our intel.
why? because we have a budding sovereignty insurgency , which is getting more and more lawless and confrontational by the day , which is coming to the attention of both China AND Russia , as a supportable 5thh column movement with a U.S. State , to whom arms may begin to flow .
The Stryker combat vehicle would be / could be the perfect platform for confronting a growing local insurgency . They proved themselves very effective in Iraq . Now they are being sent away .
This Hawaii sovereignty insurgency is no joke . Given the means , they could get brutal over night . NO ONE is confronting them . Soon they will be at the gates of the PTA training area and seeking to enter and occupy an important military base and interrupt its operations . Mark my words .
Free Republic freepers have been famous for affecting such polls , for years . Study your history .
Obviously you don’t understand logistics.
I hope your wrong, but if I recall correctly there is a “hate/kill haole day” there?
Ah, just trying to make a joke. Shipping a brigade to many places would be closer from Hawaii than new york.
In the event of a war, I say bring back the draft for millennials.
They seem to think they are all geniuses. They should win really fast.
the Obamunnist inflamed anti-white racists are indeed on the warpath out here . It’s scary . It is very comforting to know that there are a who hell of a lot of U.S. Marines , U.S. Navy sailors and U.S. Army soldiers , equipped with state-of the art armored combat vehicles , suitable for maneuver in semi urban and rural road / jungle enviorens . Now these forces are being disbursed . Not a coincidence? Nothing would surprise me anymore . We may have an arch traitor at the helm intentionally ensuring a comprehensive American defeat when the real fighting breaks out . Bought and paid paid for , wrapping the package nicely , for our future masters .
Wake up America !
